Carl Magnus Palm-The Complete Recording Sessions Indiegogo campaign

ABBA biographer Carl Magnus Palm has succeeded with his Indiegogo campaign to enable him to self-publish a revised and expanded version of his first ABBA book, ABBA-The Complete Recording Sessions. The original book was word for word the most informative ABBA book ever written. The original recording sessions for every ABBA song were notated diary style giving ABBA fans for the first time, a window into the exact timing of ABBA's recording process. For example I never knew that "Dancing Queen" was actually recorded before "Fernando" and I knew very little about ABBA's unreleased not bootlegged tracks. ABBA books up til that time had always been light pieces very low on actual fact. Palm changed that-he put the facts before the fluff.

The original 1994 version of the book was relatively short-especially in comparison to the book it appeared to imitate Mark Lewisohn's book about of the Beatles recording sessions (a book that could also use a revised edition. Palm had a very brief time with actual sessions tapes, and thus was not able to complete a record of every take. He also had just started his journey with ABBA, and in the 20 years since then has learned nearly everything there is to know about ABBA ,so a rewrite of the book, would reflect that.No doubt, likely to be one of the best ABBA books ever written.

You can still order the book either in hardback or download versions, even though the ABBA campaign is over.

Here are our short reviews of all nine of ABBA's deluxe editions, in order of release.

All
of these "sound and vision" sets tend to be more interesting for the
DVD then the audio discs, but they also do probably represent the best
presentation of each of these albums, as a whole.

There
remains considerable debate as to which of the numerous issuance's of
ABBA's studio albums have the best sound quality. Some people even think
the vinyl sounds better. But the deluxe editions clearly have the most complete content. ABBA's last three studio albums have the most interesting selection of audio
bonus tracks, since there were more B-sides and such to include on the
later albums. Only The Visitors has a totally new audio track, but here and there are a couple of rarities.

A solo piano album from Benny Andersson was released in September 2017 with 21 songs on the album-aeleased internationally by Deutsche Grammophone. . ABBA the Album was released as a 2Lp half speed mastered vinyl edition, and the singles from that album were released as a vinyl box set.
